  1. Othering, Cultural Appropriation, and "Racism"

    by , 04-14-2016 at 08:54 PM (Memories of the 28th Century)
    This morning someone told me that some government form he was filling out asked for “race”. I thought we had finished with that some time ago. There are no races of humans beyond the human race. There are vile people who seek throw division into human activity by falsely claiming that there are races of humans. Those people are racists.

    Race is a clear and well defined characteristic of some species of plants and animals, see links below. There are other sources that equate race ...

    Well. Now we have a new toaster. And my burn hasn’t been so bad today. It’s still red and feels a bit hot now and then.

Therefore, those who commit such atrocities in the name of Islam can never find any justification. They are defaming Islam and destroying the peace of the world.

    So. Um. Where to begin? I have a bunch of stuff I’ve been promising to write up since October and there have been noteworthy recent events. So which do I pick. The more recent should have more detail but it’d be nice to clear my backlog.
    Well. In recent news.
    I’m now 28. So close to thirty that’s it’s actually kind of scary.
